Is it that you always send all chunks of affected backup snapshots as you cannot know which chunks are already in the pool on the target side? And with "no download of previous snapshots to optimize this" you mean that you do not get the index of the previously synced snapshot to check that for which chunks you can skip for now, but that could be done in the future? > - Permissions and roles: Currently, a dedicated role is implemented for > a push operator.

I mean, in the end the remote can already reduce the privileges to lock usage to specific NS or forbid creating backups completely, so I think that we'd be fine w.r.t. not being to open. That might be something to mention in the docs though, as users might wonder why they get a permission error when a sync job runs even though they had enough rights to create it. Besides that, while I did not think this through all to closely, the new privileges seem OK to have. They allow admins to give users access to a remote that uses rather powerful credentials while still controlling roughly what a user can do with it. While in untrusted environments one probably wants to avoid that situation, in (semi-)trusted environments this can be nice to avoid error potential of some automation while not requiring an admin to configure many remotes for the same PBS, each using separate credentials with a minimal set of privs granted. > > Christian Ebner (24): > datastore: data blob: fix typos in comments > server: pull: be more specific in module comment > server: pull: silence clippy to many arguments warning > www: sync edit: indetation style fix > server: pull: fix sync info message for root namespace applied the above 5 clean-up commits already, thanks! btw. I agree with Gabriel w.r.t. having this separated a bit more explicitly in the user interface; while for the implementation it might not be that different, there's a big difference for the user. Making an error and getting source and target swapped by mistake might lead to some problematic results, like pruning some important snapshots as the (wrongly) chosen source is empty. So I'd not only show the jobs in separated grids (can be the same panel though) but also use different add, edit, and remove dialogues and buttons. It might even make sense to evaluate using a different sync job section type, and thus config, for these; not saying that's a must, but it myabe could additionally help to avoid mistakes. _______________________________________________ pbs-devel mailing list pbs-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pbs-devel
